Descripción
Your life’s calling is too important to be hijacked by toxic people. In When to Walk Away, New York Times bestselling author Gary Thomas draws from biblical and modern stories to provide practical insight into dealing with difficult people in your life and living faithfully to the purpose God has given you.
As Christians, we often feel guilty and responsible for meeting the needs of the unhealthy people in our lives. Whether it’s a sibling, parent, spouse, coworker, or friend, toxic people are always looking to thwart our life’s calling. While you seek first the kingdom of God, they seek first to distract your attention and delay your work.
Instead of attempting the impossible task of appeasing toxic people, it is time for us to dedicate our energy to the one worthwhile endeavor: completing the work God has given us to do. It’s only when we learn to say no to bad patterns that we can say yes to the good that God has planned for us.
Gary Thomas, the bestselling author of Sacred Marriage, looks at biblical examples from the lives of Jesus, Paul, and Nehemiah. Drawn from years of serving as a pastor, Thomas shares modern stories and practical examples for dealing with difficult people in our lives. Each chapter includes practical lessons you can apply right away. You’ll discover how to:
- Set healthy boundaries to protect your life’s calling
- Find refuge in God when you feel under attack
- Discern when to walk away from a toxic situation
- Maintain a tender heart even in unhealthy relationships
- Love and serve difficult people by resisting their control
- Grow your inner strength and invest in reliable people
We cannot let others steal our joy or our mission. It’s time to strengthen our defense, learn to set good boundaries, and focus on the purpose God gave us.
